Terminology.

Wondering what a word means? We've got that covered too.

We try to keep the jargon to zero, but there are words that you will need to know their meaning. Did you know the word "mortgage" means "death pledge" in Old French?! Spooky. Anyway, use below to find words you may not know the meaning of. We got you.

Insolvency

The general meaning of Insolvency is when someone does not have enough money to pay their debts. We would like to elaborate on this as TDRG likes to be clear. When we say “pay their debts” this does not mean having enough money to clear your mortgage in one go, it’s more management of debt payments i.e. being able to make the payments as they fall due.

For example, if you find yourself drowning in unpaid bills and cannot maintain your payments on your borrowing.
